Just under 2 weeks ago, the President of Botswana, Lt. Gen. Ian Khama,
gave a speech wherein he announced that by the end of 2013, trophy hunting
would no longer be allowed in Botswana.

Speaking in Mababe, a village
along the edge of the Okavango Delta, he said that "Next year will be the
last time anyone is allowed to hunt in Botswana and we have realised that if
we do not take care of our animals, we will have a huge problem in terms of
tourism."
